Week 38 - Homeland (230918)

from Song A Week, Vol. 8 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

In a sea of eight billion faces
There's a couple things we share
Not everybody's going places
But we all come from somewhere

On an island in outer space
Born amongst each other
We start runnin' this human race
Around our planetary grandmother

She's our pale blue dot
Our origin story
She's kinda' all we got
It's about time we said we're sorry

We better start treatin' her right
Really ain't no backup plan
Not tryin' to start any fights
But she's our homeland

We all had a mom and a dad
No matter what gender they were
And the earth is everyone's lily pad
Yes we all came from her

Whatever color your skin
Your insides are just as good
And no matter where you been
We're from the same terrestrial neighborhood
